I hope he does not continue the draconian FTMC policy of giving a cost of living bonus instead of compounded yearly wage increases. Every time this happens, employees continue to fall behind but the corporate side contiunes to build new buildings and have overexagerated wage and compensation packages for leadership. The new CEO has the opportunity to do what is best for the employees of Huron County's largest employer. Time will tell.
